Our Story
Discover how and why we became the first and only awards agency to focus exclusively on L&D industry awards.
Rooftop Recognition was founded by Emma Klosson in 2024 after she noticed that L&D professionals were consistently struggling with three major challenges. First, they found it difficult to obtain buy-in and commitment from business stakeholders. They also had trouble aligning L&D's strategy with the organisation's strategy. And finally, they couldn't always measure and, therefore, prove learning and business outcomes.
Recognising the predicament, Emma formed Rooftop Recognition with a goal to help L&D professionals become trusted business partners by leveraging the power of learning industry awards.
​
Why learning awards? Why not focus on learning strategy?
Why we do what we do.
Learning awards are a win-win for L&D professionals.
Setting aside the enormous high you get from winning awards and gaining recognition from your peers, the eligibility criteria and application questions for the industry's top learning awards closely mirror L&D best practices. What's more, the most prestigious learning awards programs also require applicants to include both quantitative and qualitative data to prove the learning and business outcomes.
In other words, to win learning industry awards L&D professionals must present a well-designed learning solution that aligns with the organisation's business goals and, crucially, that can prove outcomes.
Emma concluded that offering a holistic service focuses on what it takes to win industry awards--win-awards by focusing on crafting impactful learning solutions that align with organisational goals would be a "win-win."
